A week after 31-year-old Brian Browning attempted a mass shooting at CrossPointe Community Church in Wayne, Michigan, the congregation’s pastor urged his members to forgive him while acknowledging the trauma from the incident.
“The Bible says we wrestle not against flesh and blood but powers and principalities, wickedness in high places. That's what we wrestle with. Satan tried to destroy us. Don't be mad at Brian.
